Guitarist ISO bass and drums for instrumental rock

New Haven CT

Description

Hi! I am looking to put together a musically talented and serious-but-not-too-serious instrumental group with the goal of playing original music at local venues. Specifically, I'm hoping to find a talented drummer and bass player. A second guitar/keys/whatever would be great too. I'm looking for folks around my age range (25-45ish), who are good at their instruments, have diverse musical interests, and are drug and drama free. This would be a band for fun, not to forge a career or hatch plans of touring/making it. That being said, I'd like it to be serious enough to have a weekly commitment and to meet folks who take music and their instruments seriously. The style of music would be a continuation of the instrumental album I released last year under the moniker The Shape of Shred. (See links below). Going forward, I'd like to continue writing instrumental rock/blues/metal/funk/post-rock/fusion (insert instrumental genre here) with strong hooks and fun grooves, while staying open to new ideas and jamming. About me: I'm a 34 year old guitar player, and I've been playing for over 20 years. I have some pretty serious writing and playing chops (including slappin' da bass!), and my influences run from blues, classic rock, old-school metal and punk, and a burgeoning interest in jazz. I've played in a lot of bands over the years, opened for national acts, and have pro gear, including a nice home recording set-up. My last band fizzled out due to the pandemic/people leaving, and I'd really like to start playing/jamming regularly again.

(Such as, your instrument, links to any tracks you've written/played on, and availability to meet/jam.)
